Avatar n tn I thought if I mixed it with a fruit smoothy it would be tolerable and I also found a flavored flaxseed oil but that was pretty expensive. I want to try to use the "good" fat for protease inhibitor. This anti-depressant already has me eating like crazy. I start this Friday Yikes!!
Avatar f tn thanks I did take 1 tablesppon of flaxseed oil before leaving to work and didnt plan to eat or take my morning riba till I got to work.

Avatar m tn You really only need to drop your LDL by 20 points, which is not very much. Do a low fat diet, not empty carbs like breads, sugars and pastas. Add fruits and veggies as well. The easiest way is to cut out fast foods so if you indulge in burgers and fries, stop and that alone will bring your number down. Is there a reason why you don't want to take a statin?
Avatar f tn I asked my doctor (RE) about taking 81 mg of baby aspirin to encourage blood flow to the uterus but she said the effects are not proven and therefore she does not use it in her practice. I'd still like to try it, however..particularly because my menses was especially "clotty" this month (sorry tmi!). But I also take flaxseed oil and I want to make sure that taking both of these won't be an issue. I'm on my 4th round of clomid 100 mgs, days 3-7 with progesterone supps.
Avatar n tn The Budwig diet is mainly composed of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese with restrictions on eating animal meats, butter and sugars. Some holistic health enthusiasts believe that cancer patients are deficient in essential lipids that cottage cheese mixed with flaxseed can replace.

689528 tn?1364135841 Ugh, okay, so I continued my search (sorry for all the posts- I hope they are helpful!).

Animal studies show possible harmful effects, and there is little information in humans. Flaxseed may stimulate menstruation or have other hormonal effects and could be harmful to pregnancy.

550622 tn?1247656720 The redness usually goes away, but the dry eye might stay around awhile. I take flaxseed oil everyday which helps as well as staying well hydrated- but eye drops are a way of life.

Avatar m tn Some one on this website suggested flaxseed or flaxseed oil to help boost the libido. I tried it and you know IT WORKS . You can buy it at Whole foods or a natural food store. I take the flaxseed oil every day. My first thought was " Are you on hormone replacement therapy?" I know getting the right dose of hormone pills can be tricky. When I'm feeling "off" some where in my body I always check out meds first. I really heard that you feel violated.
1670226 tn?1334252274 Evening primrose oil is good and you shouldn't stop taking it, but it's not an Omega-3. Omega-3's fight inflammation in your body. Plus, my optometrist said my eyes had "an oil problem," as in not enough. I alternate taking (1) 1200mg capsule of fish oil daily and (1) 1000mg capsule of flaxseed oil daily. That's just a personal preference. Also, when my eyes were really bad, I took one of each for 4 or 5 days.

Avatar n tn My husband has severe dry eyes, and has started taking omega 3 and flax seed oil. It is working very well, but his dose (after gradual increase to a point of benefit) is more than recommended. Can he overdose on 3 times the normal dose of purified omega 3 fish oil..the brand he takes is Health from the Sea PFO pure fish oil liquid. He takes twice the dose of the flax seed oil (same brand name).
